The 3-Day Cleanse Review & Giveaway

The Three Day Cleanse

by:  Zoe Sakoutis & Erica Huss founders of BluePrintCleanse

Celebrities, foodies, and media people rely on the Blueprint Cleanse for relief from the excess, overindulgence, and toxins we are all exposed to every day. Now, the founders of the cleanse praised in Elle, Vogue, and Every Day with Rachel Ray, offer THE 3-DAY CLEANSE, an at-home juice cleansing program for everyone.

Cleansing allows the digestive system to rest so you can rid yourself of the toxins everyone accumulates, whether from unhealthy eating or simply from our environment. The 3-DAY CLEANSE offers a customized program based on your own personal health and lifestyle. Unlike other cleanses, the Blueprint Cleanse includes sufficient calories and natural fats, making for an easier yet incredibly effective cleanse.

This books guides readers through step-by-step guidelines for a 1-day, 3-day, and 14-day cleanse, as well as a long-term maintenance plan. Throughout are sidebars, quick tips, secrets and advice from people who have successfully done the cleanse. In addition to the juice, raw, and partially-raw food recipes in the book, the authors include advice on battling the urge to cheat and working the cleanse into a busy lifestyle.

Prepare to boost your immune system, alleviate allergies and PMS, improve your mood and sex drive, and clear up your skin. Finally, the juice service adored by many is available for you to create in your own home!

My Thoughts: If you have followed any of my anti-aging reviews then you have heard me talk about the effects of free radicals on our bodies (and skin).  There is plenty of information on free radicals on the internet and a quick search will help you understand exactly what they are.  Free Radicals are highly toxic and work to destroy healthy cells in our bodies.  Antioxidants basically collect the free radicals in our bodies and render them harmless.  Without a healthy balanced diet our bodies can’t produce enough antioxidants to fight these free radicals and an unhealthy diet produces its own load of free radicals!

The 3-Day Cleanse uses only fruits, vegetables, nuts and other  antioxidant rich foods (converted to juices) to help us clear out the free radicals and give a boost to rebuilding and healing our bodies.  What I really like about this book is that it helps guide you in finding the right cleanse for you.  There are different levels and different time frames so you need to find the best one for you so you don’t totally shock your system with detoxing which can cause some pretty unpleasant side effects.  You will learn how to gently but effectively cleanse your body so that you can benefit from increased energy, mental clarity, decreased cravings and decreased mood swings among many other positive health benefits.

The book also helps you prepare your body for the cleanse as well as transition out of it.  After all it you are going to cleanse you need to get the highest possible benefit from it!    There are some very delicious recipes for both the transition foods and the juices and some of my favorites include Salsa Salad, Mango Lettuce Wrap, Asian Cold Noodles with Spicy Almond Dressing, Carrot-Apple-Ginger juice and Greens with Apple juice!

I love how informative this book is with clear instructions that will guide you through your cleanse.  While I would really love to just have the fresh juices from the BluePrintCleanse delivered directly to my door – I don’t live in New York (although shipping is available for about $20 per day to US locations).  The next best thing, and less pricey – is being guided through making them myself!
